Shanghai Flavor Shop is an inexpensive restaurant in a strip mall of sleepy Sunnyvale specializing in Shanghainese cuisine. They are best known for their Pan fried pork buns. They have a fairly short menu of Chinese dishes.
Decor, Vibe – Shanghai Flavor Shop is a typical low budget Chinese restaurant with basic decor. Local Asians were mostly dining when we visited. No much english was spoken.

Picks:
Pan Fried Pork Buns ($5.75 for 6) were good but not as great as we have had in Sunny Shanghai in San Bruno. Crunchy top that is a little too thick, flavorful and juicy inside. Served steaming hot out of the kitchen. Yang’s Fry Dumpling is the best we’ve had in Shanghai. Yang’s are freshly made and have a ton of soup inside their, unlike any place in the US.
Shanghai egg Roll ($3.75 for 3) was super crispy and juicy on the inside with some cabbage. Very well done, but it is really a spring roll not an egg roll.
Shredded Pork & Noodle with Green onion sauce ($6.25) had fresh thin wheat noodles with a nice sauce and some flavorful black color marinated pork on top. A nice combination of flavors.
OK:
None
Pans:
None
Shanghai Flavor Shop had decent food. The Pan fried pork buns were not as good as the ones we had in Shanghai, of course. Food is decent and prices are reasonable. If you are looking for Shanghainese Chinese food when in the South Bay, give Shanghai Flavor Shop a try.

[...] most we have tried locally. Not fried as much as others, but juicy and tender skinned. Better than Shanghai Flavor in Sunnyvale. About as good as it gets in the US. Yang’s Fry Dumpling is the best [...]
